World Championship times & more
Our Age group Acrobats are safely in Portugal with Team GB preparing for competition starting Thursday 12th September.
The Age Group World Championships are taking place in Guimaraes, Portugal and our first RGA acrobats are competing on Thursday. Huge good luck to everyone- the club is rooting for you all!
Scroll down to see full competition times on floor for our partnerships, as well as photos from podium training.
Acro Explainer:
Each partnership will compete two routines:
Balance- static moves that must be held with smooth transitions;
Dynamic- dynamic moves usually involving flight.
Routines must also include various individual elements (such as aerial cartwheels, box splits and more).
The total score of both routines will then dictate whether they move through to the Finals and compete their Combined routine (as the name suggests, this combines both Balance and Dynamic moves).
Each routine is are scored on Difficulty, Execution (how well the moves were performed) and Artistry.
